an ode to my hair

goodbye my fair long luscious lock of hair
though thou has been gone for time past
memories of thou remains bittersweet in my mind
and fondness remains in my heart

thou has served me well over the years
so long that i can't remember being without thy softness
primping, colouring and perming,
all the beautiful memories we had together

made me beautiful, made me sexy,
my beautiful long luscious lock of hair
i didn't think things will ever change
but yet, change it did one day

you kept getting caught in my zippers
and slapped the face of the one beside me when i turned
tickled my armpit and poked my eyes
you were really getting quite bothersome

don't even begin about how you shed
all over the bathroom floor
and those split ends and hair bills
it was finally time for you to go through the door

but fondness still lingers when i think of you
didn't have to visit the salon every month
unlike your short cousin that i am sporting
quite a high maintenance relative you have there.

ahhhh.....only when it is lost that one yearns
but still i am hesitant
to return back to your arms once again
for now i feel light and carefree

goodbye fair hair.
